Rapper A$AP Rocky that he gives credit to 2Pac for initiating hip hop's love of high-end designer clothes. Namely, Rocky says that he feels that Pac introduced hip hop to Versace--despite the fact that his rival the Notorious B.I.G. became more associated with the brand.

"It all started with a man named Tupac Shakur. First of all, Gianni Versace said that he was the most beautiful man, like he was in love with Tupac," Rocky told The Breakfast Club. "He first started like messing with Tupac by giving him clothes. He really admired his art and all of that. And that's when, no disrespect, you saw Puff and you saw B.I.G. start wearing Versace after that. Tupac, he kinda did do it first. He was actually getting it for free. ... R.I.P Pac, R.I.P. B.I.G.
